A woman from the Philippines explaines why she is against the killing without trial of drug users and why so many take drugs in the country

in #philippines7 years ago

My utmost respect to her,

I recorded without her face and hope the audio is good enough.

At SteemFest² there was a user - also a woman - who defended the government killings because so many addicts rape and kill others. She said that the president was voted by her and other voters to clean the problem and that she likes it.

I am absolutely against it. Sick fucks, killing people without trial. The woman in my video agreed to do a little interview and told me that rehab is too expensive and that the people take drugs to forget their hunger!

Maybe the country has a problem with poverty, corruption or other things. Nobody has the right to kill anyone. The woman who gave me the little interview is a hero and I give her maximum respect for not voting for the fascists!

Sort:  

what do you know about drugs and the Philippines?

oh right! SHE told you!

by the way here's a list of

Sick fucks, killing people without trial.

Everybody deserves proper Justice, addicted or not. Good Point

She told me that the corrupt government - or the president - protects the killers. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks, where are you hanging out at the momemnt?

I understand the importance placed on the human rights of suspects- potential killers or drug pushers or rapists, as they may potentially be innocent as well.

Had I attended Steemfest2 and if the discussion came to wether or not I support the ways of the current president, I would say that I do too. And I'm also a woman.

Why? Because for the better part of my life I've seen wrongdoers thrive in the country, with arrogance if I may add, because of the lack of action from those in position. The justice system is, from where I'm standing, hugely flawed that money, especially dirty money- fixes everything.

Most of the time, if you hear a crime was committed against a fellowman, then one wouldn't really have high hopes that the court case will progress.

All one can do is feel sorry for the victim and their family.

I do not say that I'm 100% behind the every action of our current president, but I'd say if given a chance to re-elect him, I would. Because at least now the bad people have something to be scared of. And someone they know they should watch out for.

The ideal scenario of course is have a solid justice system. To achieve this, I think we are at a point where drastic measures need to be imposed.

End justifies the means? Maybe. But for now, am happy that the country is moving forward.
